Mt. Ida Reserve estate, is an awe-inspiring, 2761 – acre beautiful property located along the famed Monticello Wine Trail of Charlottesville, Virginia.. An enchanting, rustic manor enclosed with iron-gate fences and formerly owned by one of the most recognized figures in the world – Bernard Arnault (founder and CEO of Louis Vuitton) – Mt. Ida Reserve was named the ‘Crown Jewel of the Commonwealth’ by Realtor.com as a result of the world class destination’s award-winning vineyard and 250-seat, tasting room and taphouse, 15-barrel craft brewery, grandiose suite of elegant wedding/event venues, private lakes/streams, picturesque rolling hills, spectacular Blue Ridge mountain views, and two, 8-stall, fully-appointed stables formerly occupied by the world-renowned Clydesdales of Budweiser.
Current ownership has spared no expense over the past two decades and invested nearly $50 million in curating the richest of estates equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, two completely renovated historic manors, stone and cedar-clad lodges, intimate event barns, blue-stone walkways, 25 miles of boarded fencing, and paved and unpaved trails, perfect for horse-back riding, ATV’s, biking, or hiking.
When coupled with a generational location and notoriety as one of the most popular and largest wineries/breweries along the historic route in Southern Albemarle County – home to Monticello, Ashlawn Highland, Trump Winery, Dave Matthews’ Blenheim Vineyards, Grace Vineyard, and Steve Case’s Early Mountain Vineyard – with significant expansion capabilities, the Mt. Ida Reserve offering represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for domestic and international investors/owners alike.
